Harry Reid has claimed that the Tea Party is a powerful
group of anarchists who are driving the agenda in the United States for a
number of years.

This seems to be at variance with previous statements by the
Democrats, Republican establishment, and the media, all of whom have predicting
the imminent demise, or serious loss of support for the movement.Harry though, seems to think that not
only do they drive the country but that they somehow manage to hide their ‘violent
tendencies:’

… “We have a situation
where this country has been driven by the Tea Party for the last number of
years. When I was in school, I studied government, and I learned about the
anarchists,” Reid said. “Now, they were different than the Tea Party because
they were violent. But they were anarchists because they did not believe in
government in any level and they acknowledged it. The Tea Party kind of hides
that.”This week, speaking on “The
Rusty Humphries Show,” Reid doubled down on his remarks.“I believe that, my
experience with the Tea Party is that they are against government in any form.
They throw monkey wrenches into the government,” he said. “It’s evident. We
can’t get things done. They don’t want anything to happen in government. We
pass laws. They fight funding the laws we pass. They don’t want government to
work. I want it to work.”Meanwhile, Tea Party
adherents and libertarian-leaning Republicans like Senators Rand Paul of
Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas continue to gain supporters throughout the
Nation who recognize them as something different from the two-Party status quo.Reid’s condemnation of the
Tea Party, combined with recent criticisms of small-government junior
legislators by the likes of Republican bureaucratic dinosaurs such as Senators John McCain
(Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.), should do nothing but make Tea Party
lawmakers more appealing to an American public that has been repeatedly screwed
by the old guard of both major political parties.

That takes us here in Oz to the 70s where the libertarian
Progress Party was formed on principles of limited government, fiscal
responsibility, and social tolerance.Back then; it was the policy of the Liberals and Nationals to accuse the
opposition of being either communists or fellow travellers.

When we came on the scene, a new adjective had to be found to
describe a party that believed that the government was too big, bloated,
inefficient, interfering, and supported free market capitalism.They couldn’t believe their luck when
they began the tedious job of going through the dictionary, (No Google back
then) and didn’t have to go past A.
